File promotion

The file promoter copies files from source GCS buckets to one or more destination buckets, by reading a Manifest file (in YAML).

The Manifest lists the files and their hashes that should be copied from src to dest.

Example Manifest for files:

filestores:
- base: gs://staging/
  src: true
- base: gs://prod/subdir
  service-account: foo@google-containers.iam.gserviceaccount.com
files:
- name: vegetables/artichoke
  sha256: 2d4f26491e0e470236f73a0b8d6828db017eab988cd102fc19afe31f1f56aff7
- name: vegetables/beetroot
  sha256: 160b98e27ec99f77efe01e2996fa386f2b2aec552599f8bd861be0a857e7f29f

filestores is the equivalent of the container manifest registries, and lists the buckets from which the promoter should read or write files. files is the equivalent of images, and lists the files that should be promoted.

filestores supports service-account, and it also supports relative paths - note that the source files in the example above are in the root of the bucket, but they are copied into a subdirectory of the target bucket.

files is a list of files to be copied. The name is appended to the base of the filestore, and then the files are copied. If the source file does not have the matching sha256, it will not be copied.

When errors are encountered building the list of files to be copied, no files will be copied. When errors are encountered while copying files, we will still attempt to copy remaining files, but the process will report the error.

Currently only Google Cloud Storage (GCS) buckets supported, with a prefix of gs://

Running the file promoter

$ kpromo run files --help

Promote files from a staging object store to production

Usage:
  kpromo run files [flags]

Flags:
      --confirm                 initiate a PRODUCTION artifact promotion
      --files files             path to the files manifest
      --filestores filestores   path to the filestores promoter manifest
  -h, --help                    help for files
      --manifests string        path to manifests for multiple projects
      --use-service-account     allow service account usage with gcloud calls

Global Flags:
      --log-level string   the logging verbosity, either 'panic', 'fatal', 'error', 'warning', 'info', 'debug', 'trace' (default "info")

Generating a file promotion manifest

This tool will generate a manifest fragment for uploading a set of files, located in the specified path.

It takes a single argument --src, which is the base of the directory tree; all files under that directory (recursively) are hashed and output into the files section of a manifest.

The manifest is written to stdout.

$ kpromo manifest files --help
Promote files from a staging object store to production

Usage:
  kpromo manifest files [flags]

Flags:
  -h, --help            help for files
      --prefix string   only export files starting with the provided prefix
      --src string      the base directory to copy from

Global Flags:
      --log-level string   the logging verbosity, either 'panic', 'fatal', 'error', 'warning', 'info', 'debug', 'trace' (default "info")
